"WELL? START GETTING READY!" The moment Aerin opened the door to enter the room with the girls, she quickly realized her attempt to have privacy failed as all of her members were clearly listening in. Aerin rolled her eyes. "I'm fine the way i am. It's just something casual."
"If you say soo" At that moment Aerin swore she wanted to clock xia but of course she loved them too much for that of course of course. But if the girl was being honest, she was completely regretting asking Seungcheol to take her on a date especially due to that fact he was coming over in 15 minutes. It's not like she had anything better to do than watch tv or eat, sure, but the urgency and casualness of it all made her have more than enough time to overthink.
In fact, Aerin had become so one with her thoughts that the 15 minutes she waited had felt like a mere seconds and before she knew it, a knock was heard on the thick door and the leader immediately scrambled to open it. But of course how could she forget. . .
"Girls I'm leaving! Please for the love of god continue to be civil and call me if you need anything!" After making sure her members heard her remark, she grabbed the only bag she had been able to snag from the dorm and opened the door to be met with Seungcheol's face staring directly at her.
Before either of them were even able to mutter a word, Aerin was immediately engulfed into a strong, warm, and carried hug. At first the girl was startled but after a few seconds melted into the very unusual hug from Seungcheol. "You don't know how worried i was." He spoke into her ear as he continued to hug the girl and trying to save herself from becoming red as fuck, she pulled away. "I'm okay alright? All you have to do is give me a break from all this." She said, gesturing to the situation that has ensued over the past day.
The man in front of her smiled widely and grabbed both of Aerin's hands. "Well then, your request is my pleasure."
It had been a few minutes on the road and Aerin had yet to know where they were headed but clearly Seungcheol had something up his sleeve. But in the short ride was Aerin able to admire the man next to her. His messy yet somehow stylish hair, his favorite grey sweatpants paired along with one of his hundreds of sweatshirts. It was all normal yet on Seungcheol it was so extraordinary. And of course, his smile and personality that melted the hearts of fans all over the world yet here she was only a couple of inches away from him.
Seungcheol on the other hand had felt such similar feelings yet the two idols had no idea. He had spent so much of his life focusing on every little detail about himself to make sure it was perfect, or in other words maintaining his stage presence so much so that being with Aerin was like a breath of fresh air. He felt like another person with her in the most cliché way imaginable yet he found the cheesiness of it all the cherry on top. Even with his own members they saw him as a leader, an idol, their perfect hyung, and it seemed that Aerin was the only person who made him feel like for once he didn't have to be perfect. He could just live.
